Notes for Thomas Humphry WARD
Fellow of Brasenose.

(Thomas) Humphry Ward (9 November 1845 – 6 May 1926) was an English author and journalist, most notable as the husband of Mrs Humphry Ward.

He was born at Kingston upon Hull and studied at Merchant Taylors' School[1] and at Brasenose College, Oxford, at which he became a fellow in 1869 and a tutor in 1870.

His compositions consisted of editorials which he submitted to The Times. Additionally, he edited a four-volume anthology, The Spanish Poets (1880); Men of the Reign (1885); The Reign of Queen Victoria (1887); English Art in the Public Galleries of London (1888); and Men of the Time, which ran to 12 editions. He wrote alone Humphry Sandwith, a Memoir (1884), and jointly The Oxford Spectator (1868) and Romney (1904).

He married Mary Augusta Arnold, who became a best-selling novelist of Victorian values as Mrs Humphry Ward. Arnold was the daughter of a fellow Oxford academic, Tom Arnold and the marriage connected Ward to the influential intellectual families of the Arnolds and the Huxleys.
